We Know Too Much For One Man

It Is Not Possible To Be A Scientist Unless You Believe That It Is Good To Learn... That It Is Of The Highest Value To Share Your Knowledge... With Anyone Who Is Interested... That The Knowledge Of The World, And The Power Which This Gives, Is A Thing Which Is Of Intrinsic Value To Humanity

Despite The Vision And Farseeing Wisdom Of Our Wartime Heads Of State, The Physicists Have Felt The Peculiarly Intimate Responsibility For Suggesting, For Supporting, And In The End, In Large Measure, For Achieving The Realization Of Atomic Weapons. Nor Can We Forget That These Weapons As They Were In Fact Used Dramatized So Mercilessly The Inhumanity And Evil Of Modern War. In Some Sort Of Crude Sense Which No Vulgarity, No Humor, No Overstatement Can Quite Extinguish, The Physicists Have Known Sin; And This Is A Knowledge Which They Cannot Lose.

Any Man Whose Errors Take Ten Years To Correct Is Quite A Man.

When We Deny The Evil Within Ourselves, We Dehumanize Ourselves, And We Deprive Ourselves Not Only Of Our Own Destiny But Of Any Possibility Of Dealing With The Evil Of Others.

Both The Man Of Science And The Man Of Action Live Always At The Edge Of Mystery, Surrounded By It.
